No probs.
would be good to know.
I just want to get rid of these tyres as quick as possible, just to get most of my money back.

Wow... this is the end of the road for good and cheap 10 inch tyres... I was thinking that I should buy a set and save it away...

Oh well dunlops it is? what other alternatives are there for 10x5 beside the crappy falkens and bridgestones?

They need to be stored in a dark place and not subjected to excess heat etc. A little known fact that tyres in fact have a "shelf-life" - I think it has been discussed on here, or maybe another forum I am on. I think the shelf-life is 5 yrs. I couldn't see myself wearing out a set of yoko's in that timeframe based on my current mileage.

Yes I am aware of this.

You know KB you're probably right. I may not need another set for 5 years at my rate either!

I drive my A008s 66k's a day minimum. I will definately need some in the next year so if I come across some I will buy them. But what does the future hold for us? First its the crap petrol and next crap tyres!

Well flute, where do we start? They've build a crappier version of our cars for one... maybe the only tyres available for minis will be MINI ones at 17x8?

It's a conspiracy to get us off the road I tell you! :roll:
